Client praise:
"I truly would not have been able to have a quality end product without your editing, coaching, rewrites, suggestions, and perspectives. I would have gotten it done eventually, but it wouldn’t be with the comfort level I have now, nor the quality your input has made it. All a result of your patient, skilled, and artful approach. You are very gifted at what you do, Jude."
Stephen K. Valle, PhD, author, From Chains to Change (Nicasio Press)
“We could never have done this project without you. You brought out the best in each of the authors; set up a feasible plan for getting this monster project done; applied encouragement, sympathy, and pressure as needed—and produced a book that truly will set a standard for this field.”
Barbara Dean, executive editor, Island Press
